Soon after Zhang Zhaolin became the secretary of the prefectural party committee, he only took Meng Weizhou and ran around the counties and cities with a light car. Along the way, only two points of view were repeatedly emphasized, one is to be united, and the other is to work hard. When I arrived in Runan County today, Comrade Lei Zijian, secretary of the county party committee, reported on the unity and struggle of the county-level leading bodies and the work style of the cadres, and Comrade Chen Minghao, the county magistrate, reported on the economic situation and highlighted the problem of hard work. Zhang Zhaolin expressed satisfaction and encouragement. In the evening, Secretary Lei and County Magistrate Chen visited Zhang Zhaolin together. When Zhang Zhaolin came down, the top party and government leaders must see him at the same time, and this is a rule he has set. It doesn't matter if they go to the district for meetings, or one or several people go to his house. I remember that Zhang Zhaolin came to Runan County to inspect the work the year before last, and Chen Minghao, who had just served as the county magistrate at that time, came to visit him alone in the hotel at night and was severely criticized by him. Do you know the rules? You came to me alone at night, if Comrade Zijian was more complicated, what would he think if he found out? I just talk to cadres, and I always ask a comrade to be present. Of course, we have to believe that we are above board, but there is no need for people to be suspicious, right? That time, Chen Minghao looked ashamed and almost retreated. In accordance with Zhang Zhaolin's intentions, he respectfully made an appointment with Lei Zijian to go to Zhang Zhaolin together.

Lei and Chen knocked on the door and came in, and Zhang Zhaolin had finished washing. What do you think? Old shows? Zhang Zhaolin asked with a smile. At this time, Xiao Meng also came in, took over the conversation and said, of course, it is an old show.

Xiao Meng started fiddling with the coffee table and sofa. Chen Minghao took out two new decks of poker and put them on the coffee table. Lei Zijian asked, or is the region against the county? Zhang Zhaolin said that there is no size on the table, and if you lose, you will drill the table. Zhang Zhaolin generally does not arrange official business at night, but only plays poker with the top party and government leaders to keep in touch with each other. He doesn't dance. It's not conservative or hypocritical, it's true that it's not a hobby. I don't just chat casually, it's not appropriate to talk about anything. Talking about elegance, it is inevitable to be high and low; If you talk about vulgarity, it is inevitable that you will lose your dignity; Serious things are not like leisure, and they are inevitably stiff. Just play poker and get into the table if you lose. This earned him a good reputation for not taking a stand. Some people who have played poker with him will also brag outside, saying that Secretary Zhang will drill the table when he loses, what are you doing? The person who was accused of cheating, honestly drilled the table, and would show a yearning look, envying the benevolent brother in front of him, who actually drilled through the table with Secretary Zhang. However, such bragging is generally the kind of people who have never seen the world, they only had the opportunity to play poker with Secretary Zhang once by chance, and the level cannot be very high. Cadres at the level of Secretary Lei and County Magistrate Chen are generally very politically conscious, and they know how to consciously keep the secrets of the leader's life, and they resolutely do not say what they should not say, and they resolutely do not know what they should not know. In fact, this is not a big deal, I am afraid that I will be used as a handle by a very small number of people, and I will use the topic to play and spread false rumors, and the three of them will become tigers, so that the leader will be passive. So it's better to be cautious. This is not a trivial matter, there are already people outside who are telling strange things, saying something: a horn sounds, and several cadres come to the countryside; Bring a pair of broken mahjong and play until dawn all night. If it is known that Secretary Zhang also likes to play poker and the like, what will be the impact? People just need to think about it casually, and the problem will come out. So Secretary Lei and they played poker with Zhang Zhaolin, and they played it when they played, just like they had never played.

Zhang Zhaolin's luck is very good tonight, and he and Xiao Meng have always been winners. Lei and Chen are always drilling under the coffee table. Secretary Lei is fat, and it is very difficult to drill. Xiao Meng joked that the two parents really loved the people like children and made the floor clean. Tomorrow morning, the service lady will have to save the cleaning. Zhang Zhaolin also laughed and said that I was embarrassed to drill the two of them. In this way, from the next game, if you lose, you will salute us and say that you will learn from us. Secretary Lei didn't follow, saying that you are lucky. Don't leave yourself a way back, you drill the next game. Zhang Zhaolin said, and he is not modest, poor technology is poor technology. County Magistrate Chen took advantage of this topic to say that with Secretary Zhang's luck in playing cards, he was only afraid that he would become a leader of the party and the state in the future. Zhang Zhaolin pretended to be stunned, saying that I, the secretary of the local party committee Zhang Zhaolin, relied on luck? It depends on the trust of the organization, the support of the masses, and the support of the comrades. County Magistrate Chen knew that Zhang Zhaolin was not angry, but his face was still embarrassed, and he hurriedly said of course, of course. Zhang Zhaolin said, just based on your words, you should drill back to the table. After that, he dragged the last four cards down, decided the victory in one fell swoop, and beat the opponent to a fine finish. Lei and Chen smiled helplessly and drilled again.

What County Magistrate Chen said was a joke of flattering the leader, but Xiao Meng really saw Zhang Zhaolin that way. He has followed Zhang Zhaolin for more than two years, and he admires the talent of this young leader. He almost believed that Zhang Zhaolin could become a good politician. If it weren't for his academic qualifications, he might have had a real chance to climb to the top of power. After all, the times are different, and there can be no more Chen Yonggui-style vice premiers. As a leader at the highest level, he should graduate from a first-class university in China to be convincing internationally. Zhang Zhaolin is only from a junior college in the mainland, which is a pity. But he is convinced that Zhang Zhaolin's official rank will never be just that of a prefectural party secretary. The general manager of the real estate company, Tang Banxian, is known as Tang Banxian, and people with face like to ask him to look at palmistry, and he often makes others sing loudly. Tang Banxian had a good personal relationship with Zhang Zhaolin, but he never dared to look at his palmistry. There was a time when the atmosphere was right, and Tang Banxian pulled Zhang Zhaolin's left hand away. After reading it, I only sighed and said mysteriously that the secret of heaven should not be revealed. Zhang Zhaolin withdrew his palm, smiled knowingly, and said that he was arrogant, and he listened to it. Xiao Meng was present, as if he heard Zen, and his heart was solemn. Since then, Zhang Zhaolin has become more and more godlike in Xiao Meng's mind. In his view, Zhang Zhaolin's every move embodies the art of leadership. Anything, as long as it is played as art, it is wonderful and interesting. Comrade Mao ** said that to be a leader is to use cadres and give ideas. This is an incisive summary of leadership. Zhang Zhaolin seems to have a deep understanding of this. As long as the area is not made public, he basically runs around the county and city, and soaks together with the grassroots leaders, which is very popular. But now it's difficult to be a leader, you say that you are going deep into the grassroots, and some people don't see it that way. It has long been said that the leader of the countryside Santana, looking at the crops through the glass, eats all four-legged climbing, hugging the color of seventeen or eighteen. This has been circulating for a long time, and in recent years the revolutionary situation has developed rapidly, and Santana has begun to degenerate into an old-fashioned country, no longer a symbol of leading cadres. Zhang Zhaolin was a little behind when he heard these words, but it happened that he was still sitting in Santana, and he was very unhappy. sighed that in ancient times, the wise monarch sent people to collect poems in the countryside to hear the voice of the people, so as to inform the government. Now the situation has changed, and these slips of the tongue are all nonsense made up by people with ulterior motives, and they do not represent the voice of the people at all. If you don't need modern transportation, don't you have to walk? At least not in line with the principle of efficiency. There are indeed cadres who go down to eat, drink, and go out of the dance hall, but after all, they are a minority. And this is also not allowed by the integrity system! Zhang Zhaolin didn't care about these strange words, and he still came down when he was free. This time, the local committee had just been opened, and he had only stayed in the agency for a day, and then he took Xiao Meng down.

Secretary Lei drilled the table, went to the bathroom to wash his hands and came out, and said, pause, pause, and lift your spirits. After that, I asked for the help desk phone. In less than a minute, the waitress brought in a few cold dishes. Secretary Lei took out two bottles of Moutai from his bag. I didn't pay attention to it, so I poured wine from a teacup, and the four of them drank it. Zhang Zhaolin often said that when you are a leader, you must treat people with sincerity. The leaders of counties, cities, and departments obeyed him. They feel. Zhang Zhaolin is both majestic and easy; It is not only honest and honest, but also accessible to people. He dined at the grassroots level, and he was never allowed to serve liquor, but he could order a drink, and everyone was free; You are not allowed to make too many dishes, and if you don't have enough, you can add more, and you have to have a dish to eat. But wine is drunk by people, so can't you drink alcohol when you are a leader? There is no such royal law! It's just a matter of principle. Meng Weizhou knew that in terms of the amount of alcohol, Zhang Zhaolin could be called a massive. But he easily refrained from drinking in public outside, and drank himself at home, drinking in moderation. If a VIP comes to the region, he will also give a few toasts enthusiastically. If necessary, he will wave his hand and sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman! I remember that the year before last, President Hu of the Provincial Industrial and Commercial Bank came to the region, and Comrade Tao Fan, the secretary of the prefectural party committee at that time, was the main guest, and Zhang Zhaolin was the companion. During the banquet, Tao Fan said that the regional funds were too tight, and no matter how much President Hu had to support him, he was an old friend. That Governor Hu is a wine fairy, and after the wine is hot, he will drink Zhang Zhaolin's army, Zhang Zhaolin with him, a toast, and he Hu someone will support three million. Everyone was almost drunk, and President Hu couldn't eat a cup of Zhang Zhaolin. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao shouted hello like old Beijing theater fans. When he was about to toast, Zhang Zhaolin joked again, we have grassroots cadres here drinking and saying strange things, saying that a red heart is towards the sun, and I will hand over my stomach to the party. I've criticized it. And I myself am going to live today greatly, and die glorious. Die for the interests of the people, die a well-deserved death! Everyone here is happy. When he drank five cups in a row, Zhang Zhaolin said President Hu, you keep your own accounts, fifteen million, and your words count! Governor Hu nodded, of course, of course, there was no joke in the army. When it was fifteen cups, President Hu committed himself and hugged the table foot. Zhang Zhaolin didn't look drunk, and hurriedly beckoned someone to help President Hu back to the room to rest, but he patted President Hu on the shoulder and said Remember, 45 million! Governor Hu desperately wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't open them, he only shouted incoherently, the gentleman said, the horse chases. When he woke up the next day, President Hu was fooled, but he still had to deliver on his words. In the last discussion, President Hu said that the scene was chaotic last night, and you Secretary Zhang's fifteen glasses of wine, drank a little, and sprinkled a little. Let's discount it and add another 35 million to yesterday's official study. I can't imagine that your secretary Zhang is as good as the East China Sea! Afterwards, everyone estimated that Zhang Zhaolin drank at least two catties of liquor that time. However, Zhang Zhaolin dined at the grassroots level, strictly abided by the discipline of clean government, and insisted on not drinking alcohol. After playing poker in the evening, you can have a drink. But there is a particular thing, the wine can't be public, the food should be simple, and it doesn't go to the restaurant, just drink it in the room. When Meng Weizhou just ran with Zhang Zhaolin, he often carried a few bottles of Moutai or Wuliangye in the car. When I played at a certain time at night, Zhang Zhaolin said that I would have a treat. Instructed Meng Weizhou to buy a few bags of pastries to accompany the drink. Of course, the two leaders who accompanied the guests were embarrassed. Zhang Zhaolin was arrogant and said what is this? You're in for a treat next time? However, you should bring this wine from home yourself, and you can't ask the hotel for it. Otherwise, if someone accuses me of Zhang Zhaolin eating and drinking below, I won't admit it! After playing poker like this, it became the norm to drink a little to spend the night. Usually Zhang Zhaolin and Meng Weizhou cover one bottle, and the two accompanying guests cover one bottle. There is no need for Meng Weizhou to buy pastries again, someone will bring a few plates of light and delicious appetizers. Last year, I came to Runan County and played poker for a while at night, and Lei Zijian took out two bottles of Fenjiu. When Zhang Zhaolin saw it, he quipped, what? And you will send me away with this wine? Keep the good wine for yourself, don't you? Lei Zijian was very embarrassed, and said that I was at this level, depending on how County Magistrate Chen was. Chen Minghao immediately relieved the siege and said Wait a minute, I will go home and check the warehouse. Zhang Zhaolin waved his hand and said, "It's going to be counted." This will make people even more unhappy, Chen Minghao just ran home and got two bottles of Moutai. In fact, everyone knows that Zhang Zhaolin only drinks Moutai and Wuliangye, but Lei Zijian happened to have no goods in his hand, so he wanted to make do with Fenjiu and try it. Unexpectedly, Secretary Zhang was so casual, which really moved him. Lei Zijian was originally a black-faced man with a loud voice, and very casual people jokingly called him Lei Gong. The wine was half-drunk, his face was like red charcoal, and he became more and more thunderous. He sighed in a rough voice. Your Secretary Zhang is real, straightforward, not to feint, we are really subordinate to you. Chen Minghao followed and said, yes, yes, there is no emotional distance between you and us, only very casual friends ask for wine! Zhang Zhaolin raised his glass and said, what kind of shelf? Superiors and subordinates are just a division of labor. If the organization announces which of you is the secretary of the local party committee now, I, Zhang Zhaolin, will listen to you immediately. The two of them waved their hands together, indicating that they didn't dare or not.

Lei Zijian also had a lot of words tonight, and finally it came to the matter of the masses' complaints. Lei Zijian was a little excited, couldn't sit still, squatted on the chair, and said: Comrade Minghao is here, our county party committee and ** leaders work hard all day and night, but some people still sue this and that. There is a crooked trend of filing lawsuits in this county. Zhang Zhaolin pressed his hands and said, okay, okay, drink and drink, I don't work at night. But speaking of which, I have a point of view that a leader who has a complaint is not necessarily a good leader, and a leader who has no one to complain is definitely not a good leader. The prefectural committee trusts you, and I, Zhang Zhaolin, trust you. Okay, okay, let's not talk about business.

When the bottle of dry wine ran out, Chen Minghao called the service desk. Someone came to clean up immediately. Zhang Zhaolin said, how about continuous combat? Lei Zijian said, it's too late, you better rest! It's hard to come down, too. So he shook hands and said goodnight.

Xiao Meng insisted on sending the two adults downstairs. Lei and Chen were polite to Xiao Meng, and walked side by side in front. The two of them had briefcases under their armpits and discussed work matters as they walked, looking like they had just broken up. When they arrived outside the hall downstairs, the two turned around and shook goodbye to Xiao Meng. Xiao Mengmu sent them into the car before turning around and going upstairs.

Master Ma was already snoring like thunder. Xiao Meng went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth, and took a shower. When combing my hair, I looked at myself and found that I was radiant and imposing. Fucking Moutai is really a good thing, and after drinking it, I feel like a person. When I walked out of the bathroom, I saw Master Ma sleepily coming to relieve him. Master Ma rubbed his eyes and asked, so busy, get it to this time? Xiao Meng didn't open his mouth, only sighed with his nose, and lay down on the bed. He did not open his mouth, lest he spew out the smell of wine. Seeing that he was so serious, Master Ma thought that there must be something very important, so it was inconvenient to ask more.
